New Smash Bros for 3ds and Wii U

[Davetello]

Really liked Melee, didn't play much of Brawl despite the fact that I own the game.

I don't have a Wii U but I will probably be getting this for 3DS. They are quality games.

Pretty much this. Melee was probably my most played GCN game. It had so much replay value.

The 3DS library seems to be pretty good atm. Some people say it might have a library as good or even better than the DS. And considering the 3DS has retro-compatibility, it seems like a good investment. Maybe I'll get one for Christmas.

The 3Ds has a great library, but I rarely use it as I struggle to game these days. But Smash Bros is an easy game to dip in and out of, so I will definitely buy it.

My picks for DLC if I could choose anyone:

Ridley
Mewtwo
Dixie Kong
Ice Climbers
Wolf
King K. Rool

I would like Snake back too, but I realize the chances of that happening are zero.

Don't REMIND me that my honey Snake's not back! [Goodnight sweet prince, it was great while it lasted.]

Snake was an awesome Smash fighter, and a nifty inclusion. But a weird one. He's had 4 titles in Nintendo, where two of thm was original games. One's a terrible port, another a terrible remake, and both Snake's Revenge and Ghost Babel are non-canon.

And Smash Snake looked like the MGS2 version.

[Netkeeper]

But he was so awesome.

Also, I think Snake was included in Brawl because Kojima begged Sakurai to put Snake in Melee; they were too far into development to put him in that one so they stuck him in the next one.

This would be the worst DLC.

Also...STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS SH*T!

[Davetello]

Between this and FIFA I should have some good stuff to play next month in terms of dipping in and out for a few matches here and there. Is there going to be a story mode like that Subspace Emissary thing? I didn't see anything when googling, and am too tired to go through the entire thread.

Nah. That stuff is gone. Wasn't exactly met with glowing praise the first time so (thankfully IMO) they tossed it.

[Peanut]

Nope. SSE was apparently a huge drain on development resources in Brawl, so they cut it.

Thanks for your informative comment. If you reply in that manner all the time then things are fine. Although I realise that wishing death on people due to their positions in society was OTT, so I can see why you commented. I retract that comment.

I played a little of it on Brawl. Didn't seem too bad, but must obviously get worse as you see the full picture in terms of completing it. Is there anything new in the game that we have not seen before i.e. Any innovations in terms of modes?

The 3DS version has something called Smash Run. You play in a weird stage fighting SSE type enemies and collect power ups for about 5 minutes or something. Then you have a match with your power ups.

There's also custom move sets now. Like, you can change Mario's fireball to be more powerful but slower, for example.

Just gooled Smash Run, that looks quite good to be honest. I will give the game a proper google later. I do like Smash Bros but hadn't really thought about the upcoming games - it was seeing this thread bumped constantly which actually piqued my interest.

Custom move sets should definitely enhance the game, and obviously adds even more strategy to battles.

Thanks for all of the information. In all honesty my Nintendo knowledge is limited to Mario, Zelda, F-Zero and Metroid. So I'm not all that familiar with some of the names in the thread.

Whoa whoa whoa are you saying The Twin Snakes was a terrible remake? It improved upon literally everything except not getting Greg Eagles back as Frank.

So, I played a bunch more matches this morning and my only problem with playing it now is that tap jump is default on for the circle pad. It makes it really difficult to pull off up tilts, because the circle pad doesn't feel as precise as a stick for small movements, but I've read you can disable it, so all is good.

Speaking of up tilt, Mega Man has the Mega Upper from MvC as his and it's bad ass. It has a lot of KO potential, which makes it super fun to use.

This game is incredible you guys, and I've only been able to play with 5 characters on a single stage. Again, as someone who has played a LOT of Brawl very recently, it feels so much better.

It was bad, really bad. Worst Metal Gear game in my opinion.

I wonder with a new Star Fox game coming next year, mixed with the Star Wars hype from the new movie, if Wolf might be used as a promational tool, with DLC.

K rool, is in the top 5 wanted DLC characters with Ridey in japan and the west, so you never know.

People think it's bad because you don't HAVE to backtrack to get the sniper rifle, and that the gameplay is easier.

That has to be the reason, because those are the only super noteworthy changes. I love the Twin Snakes, myself.

The voice acting in Twin Snakes sucks big time as well, they all sounds half-asleep, even the man himself Cam. And the added MGS2 features feels unnecessary and just makes the game easier. The cut scenes are just unrealistic crazy with Snake's acrobatics, as jumping on missiles...
